Moon Miner |
| Luna twilight, dying day |
| Shadows linger on as sunlight slowly fades |
| Darkness deepens as night is drawn |
| And it’s so very long until another dawn |
| A lunar miner stirs in his converted canister |
| Rubs his eyes and glances at the time |
| Another day, another shift — |
| Tons of rock to dig and lift — |
| Moving 'dozers through the shallow lunar mines |
| Clocks are just for keeping schedules defined |
| The rugged miners claim |
| A man can go insane |
| Seven days of sunshine and seven more to go |
| And midnight madness mars the beauty of the stars |
| Darkness is forever, Luna turns so very slow |
| Then a hundred pairs of eyes |
| Are drawn to the skies |
| Scanning the horizon, anticipating Earthrise |
| Eighteen months a tour, lunar miners must endure |
| Many hardships, and the work is never done |
| Mine a million tons of ore |
| Every year, to tame the power of the sun |
| Their spirit kept alive |
| With hope of the future and a dream of Island One |
| Luna sunrise, darkness wanes |
| Cold and gray, dawn crawls across the plain |
| Blinding glare glistens on the crater rim |
| And it’s so very long until the sun goes down again |
| And it’s so very long until the sun goes down again |
| And it’s so very long |
| Until the sun goes down |
